What a perfect way of exploring the rich cultural heritage of beautiful Azerbaijan! - This tour was very well organised from the beginning till the end. Our guide Samir is a well-seasoned and very knowledgeable professional guide explained everything in detail. His language and communication skills are amazing. He was never tired from our questions. Our driver Ruslan is also an experienced driver and know all the roads including the short cuts perfectly. So, this tour is highly recommended whoever interested in.

Amazing tour with Reza!!! - I have never left a review before, but I came here because I needed to leave a review of the amazing tour we had with Reza. English speakers, book this tour and make sure it's with Reza, you will not be disappointed. This man will expand your mind and understanding of history and Azerbaijan. He'll give you history, and the counter histories. Facts, as well as contesting theories. And he has a breadth of knowledge and understanding that is hard not to be captivated by.
This was hands down the best tour my husband and I have been on because we had the best guide in Reza. Do yourself a favor and do this tour with him, or really any tour with him, it'll be the highlight of your trip!

Gobustan, mud volcano and fire temple day trip from Baku - One of the best group tours we have done during our vacation. The combination of sites covered is awesome for anyone who likes historical sites and cultural centers and UNESCO world heritage sites. What made this trip great was the detailed commentary by our guide Reza who has good knowledge of Azerbaijan history and historical and cultural significance of these sites. This trip provided a good perspective on the culture of this country and what this country has to offer apart from its Capital Baku. Thanks Reza and team for this wonderful experience.
